Moulden has spent the last several weeks building piers under a home on Tecumseh Bend Road in Carroll County. It was one of several in the county affected by severe storms and flooding that happened between Feb. 14 to March 4.

"Homeowners and renters have to be within the specific counties that have been declared a disaster for individual assistance," said FEMA spokesperson Jann Tracey. "So right now, we have only 9 counties."

Tracey said the maximum pay out is $33,300, and homeowners who already paid to fix damage can also benefit from the program.

"They should have receipts available," said Tracey. "They should have photos. An inspector will come out and see all that to verify just how much they had, and then it goes into the system of pay outs."

FEMA Disaster Survivor Teams spent Friday reaching out to people needing to rebuild. Tracey said registering is easy.

"Within a matter of days they will be contacted by an inspector," she added. "An inspector has to come out and look at the house."

Moulden said the process of lifting a home can be daunting to a homeowner, but it's something that only takes his crew a few weeks.

However, he said it could be a drawn out process if people don't register for assistance quickly.

"A lot of it has to do with getting the funding for the lift," said Moulden. "That's the long drawn out process. If the money is there immediately, we're on it."

Those who qualify for damage assistance can register by calling 1-800-621-3362. They can also register online.
